During the act, Giuliano highlighted the work carried out by “the unions that represent the railway workers of Argentina when they are with us, when we share these facts, it is not the same, because there is the warmth of what they mean and of what they put in every day to move forward with this Argentine railway system that you know that not everyone thinks or thought the same about its development”.
“Here there were bad railway policies that collapsed investments, that avoided strengthening the system or that they thought that this could no longer happen in Argentina – Giuliano continued -. But here there was a Government and a Ministry of Transport that, with Mario Meoni At the beginning of the administration, he believed in this with a Minister of the Economy like today, Sergio Massa, who we know that his hand does not tremble when it comes to railway investments, that he continues them and that he always asks for more to be able to advance in the system federal, in this dome that today shelters us all, a historical dome of the Argentine railway system”.
